THey've been trying this with Surinam and Guyana bcc's recently to produce "better" albinos... then trying to slide this recessive trait into a bcc bloodline... Genes just don't work this way.... THe problem is the alleles for a certain trait , say albinism, may be located on different genes for different subspecies, and more so with different species..... ALthough there is a possibility that everything may line up, it seems way too random to use this method for selective breeding .....
